    Energy drinks

    What about green tea? Have any of you tried it? I have heard it is actually better for you than "black" tea. Maybe I will try this for my supplement "budget" is getting pretty low. Two little girls and Christmas tend to have that effect on your wallet! :)

    Energy drinks

    Wedge, Thanks for the input. I'll have to check into the ALCAR, sounds like it's worth a try. As for the crack and meth, I would rather keep my teeth. So maybe I'll just mix a Red-Bull and a Mountain Dew in the mornings! LMAO

    Energy drinks

    I know some of these are fairly high in sugar, and may not be a good idea to include in one's diet. I'm just curious to know if others drink these, or if you're using some other form of "energy booster". I only started drinking one in the mornings when it was my turn to get up through...

    Front squat tecnique

    Try "Zercher" squats. These are done by holding the bar with your arms in a curl position with the bar held at the inside of the elbows. I do these because I lack the flexibility in my wrists to do it "clean" style.

    what gym do you belong to?

    My gym is at my house, in my garage. I built my own power rack/cage several years ago. Also have a leg press, "hex" dumbbells up to 100lbs, and over 1400 lbs in free weights. I train at home because there are no gyms close by, that, and I hate crowded gyms where you have to wait on...

    Emphasizing Quads during Squats

    Elle, Try rotating your back squats with front squats every other workout, or every other cycle. Also, try to avoid elevating your feet with weight plates......not good for the feet under heavy loads. Try using a 2"X6" a little longer than your foot and elevate it to the height you...
